Nearly 3 weeks ago we left for our whirlwind weekend in Mexico City and while it was a huge culture shock (if you bet on me not remembering my Spanish from high school, you would have been correct!), we had a great time celebrating the wedding of D's friend and old roommate and catching up with some of his friends and former co-workers from Michigan.
We couldn't understand more than a few words at the wedding and reception (yes, nearly the entire thing was in Spanish, minus M's vows which were clearly the only part of the wedding I understood), I'm glad we were able to make the trip and experience the city and the wedding. Since we didn't have much time while in Mexico, we spent our Saturday walking around the Polanco District and visiting the Farmer's Market before a quick nap and then the wedding and reception. The nap was necessary since the reception lasted from 8 pm until 3:30 in the morning. And we made the most of the reception celebration....dancing, throwing celebration streamers and wearing all of the fun accessories such as flashing crowns, cowboy hats and glasses. It was definitely hard to get up the next morning, pack up our bags and head back home as early as we did but I was happy to be heading back to the States to see my precious little Kinny who was patiently awaiting our return. Luckily my parents came to visit her over the course of those 3 days and emailed pics to us regularly. Yes, I may in fact be one of those crazy kitty moms....she's like my baby. :)
Anyway as promised, here's my photo dump....
